By level do you mean pressure at the gauge? Are you running a different oil than before, viscosity? Or maybe you have a broken piston and your sucking oil into the exhaust which is causing the turbo to not spool up properly. If this was the case though you would probably have huge plumes of white smoke. A simple compression test would probably help you out a lot in the diagnoses. That's what I suggest first. Wolfee

15 psi and NOOOOO fuel system? Might as well buy another set of rods and pistons. Might as well get a new block too while your at it. Good luck.

Either a migrant or he is over seas. I HOPE he isn't in this country though, that would make me feel better about the green card process

turbo-max and Wolfee: try to be a little more open-minded. At one time we were all immigrants and had a tough time adapting. Unless you are an American Indian, how about having some compassion, without the stereotyping, and help the guy out?

firehawk123: check your basics first - 1) take off your oil feed line and return line and make sure you have oil flowing through both. 2) if the turbo wheel is not spinning, while the car is running, then it's possible the turbo is bad or is not getting oil to provide the adequate lubrication for it to spin. In turn, your oil is being blocked at some point in the oil supply. 3) check all filters, lines, connections, etc for blockage.
